About

Summary

Together with more than 7 years in medical research and development, I have involved in many projects in the field of biomedical sciences, molecular biology and biotechnology. I have studied in 5 different countries and successfully completed all objectives. I have solid knowledge and experience in molecular biology and imaging and as well as animal experimentation. I am open-minded to learn novel techniques in the field.
